EDWARD S. DODGSON. (To be continued.)

" VATLING THE HAT." Edward Lewkenor- of Denham in West Suffolk died of smallpox in December, 1634, " nondum 21." Though so young, he left a daughter of three months,. who in course of time married Horatio Townshend of Raynham. I suppose that she carried her father's portrait with her to Raynham, for in March, 1904, it came up to Christie's to be sold, with about two hundred other Raynham portraits. It fetched 35Z.,. and now hangs at Bio' Norton Hall, the property of Prince Frederick Duleep Singh. Edward Lewkenor's funeral sermon was preached by Timothy Oldmayne, minister of Denham, and was afterwards published. In speaking of the young man's "humble and courteous carriage and demeanour towards all," he gives as evidence of it " the hat gently vailed and the hand of respect and love reached forth." A few years ago, when printing some extracts from this sermon, I suggested that " vailed " was a printer's error for "raised." But from your recent notice (12 S. ii. 499) of a new section of the ' N.E.D.' I learn the needlessness of this suggestion, for the word " vailed " had as a second meaning that of " lowered."'
